About Sarah
Sarah Edinger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience based in Mississippi. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, anger, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and family-related issues including family of origin patterns.
She describes her style as down-to-earth and straightforward. Sessions use plain language rather than clinical jargon. Sarah prefers a collaborative working relationship and emphasizes practical conversation and problem-solving. She does not require a formal diagnosis for someone to benefit from talking things through, though she notes that insurance sometimes requires diagnostic codes.
Her practice uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Solution-Focused work. That means sessions may include looking at unhelpful thinking, focusing on values and action, and identifying small, concrete steps to change patterns that began in childhood or in family relationships.
Sarah has worked in schools, community mental health, and private practice. That range informs how she helps people juggle everyday demands while addressing deeper patterns from their family of origin. She often coordinates with other trauma clinicians when trauma processing such as EMDR is planned, providing preparatory work as needed.
People meet her for practical help with communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption or foster care concerns, feelings of emptiness or shame, and life transitions. Her approach aims to clarify what matters and to set usable, short-term goals for change.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take actions that align with what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and patterns rooted in family expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or anger.Sarah combines these approaches with client-centered and solution-focused techniques so sessions stay collaborative. She works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is part of the work together rather than a one-time selection up front.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus remains on clear goals, manageable steps, and applying skills between meetings.
